Theoretically… COVID-19 could be a goldmine. Endless consults. Heaps more work. Stacks of equipment and medicines to sell. Papers to write.

You have to wonder why I spend my days pleading with everyone to reduce its transmission.

#CutDownTransmission

I don’t sell HEPA/UVC/CO2 monitors or masks. I’d be just as happy with natural ventilation if you can do it as it is cheap and environmentally friendly.

I don’t have any plans to do so either… if I did, I would let you know…

I don’t get paid for tweeting (wow would I be rich!). I have nowhere and nothing for you all to subscribe to.

I only made one video on YouTube and I’m going to take it down because it’s getting out of date…

95 thousand tweets people. Mostly about not stuffing up your health with SARS-CoV-2.

I’m going to celebrate the 100 thousandth tweet with a day off.

Personally, I would say I have some risk factors for a bad COVID outcome and of course I have some family that are vulnerable… but I think we are all a little vulnerable to COVID-19, and have someone we know that would not do well…

and it’s not like I don’t have the agency and means to optimise my chances… so it’s not that really either…

It goes against the grain of my training… watching all this reckless damage to public health.

It’s sad. It’s very sad to watch what is happening to people around me.

It also irritates me that I have all this knowledge and equipment… but many, many people don’t… and they should…

It shouldn’t be me, on here, every day, advocating for protections. I’m stuck doing a shadow version of a job that is meant to be done by people with far more visibility and authority than me…
